The Baptist
A New Testament
In the wake of the devastating event that broke the space-time continuum, John Revele must begin to find his way through this new realm he finds himself in. With only the instructions of the mysterious Stranger, he will need to track down Jason Richter, the physicist who started all of this, in order to put time back on track.
Meanwhile, the normal realms of time and existence go on. The other versions of John and everyone else push forward--towards the series of events that sparked the anomaly in the first place.
Four years have past and John's new name; The Baptist, has become legend on the streets of Baltimore. Criminals have grown to fear the name as he and his group of friends have earned a reputation for dealing with society's worst. John's estranged wife, Clare, after putting her career case to bed, finds herself faced with a new terrorist group that could be worse than the last.
As John tries to decide how far he is willing to take this mission of his, the version of himself that is trapped underneath time must convince Jason Richter to help him fix the space-time continuum.
The result spawns a whole new reality--a version of events that is different than anyone has seen before!
All the while, the ever scheming Ranston sets up for the climax of his plan and the realization of his dark second chance...
A mind bending and creative blend of science-fiction and religion that's more action-packed than the first!

Synopsis
These books were originally written as one giant manuscript, but were split into a trilogy later on in the development stage. It's a big story altogether and I'm glad I worked it into a three part novel series.
With the roll out of part two, the story takes a shift into my passion to have created a modern day biblical comparison to the text. It was challenging to come up with a suitable comparison and remain both biblically accurate and true to the character of Christ, but I had fun along the way. It really stems from a whole idea of how Jesus Christ would have been a most common and relatable man, not like the images and depictions you see of him in most Christian Media. I wanted to humanize Jesus and present a humble and human front on the subject of the gospel; one the every day North American man couldn't hold at a distance any more; one that they couldn't say they didn't understand or think was irrelevant in today's culture.
